I checked out their web site, and they seem like a good outfit. But I must admit, I'm totally lost. Allow me to explain. My old web site was pure HTML. No ASP, no PHP, no SQL. It's just pure information, with some links for downloading files. I'm not a business trying to set up a web site so that customers can order stuff from me. I just want to publish free information for the public. It's mostly tech stuff about Debian. When I created my old web site, All I did to manage it was use FTP to upload and download files. By convention, the home page was "index.htm". Any other pages could be linked to from that page. The only thing that I would like to change is to use SSL-encrypted FTP, so that my password won't be sent over the network in clear text. I must admit that I don't understand this brave new world of web hosting. Looking at debian-hosting's web site, I'm totally lost as to how I would mangage my account. What I'm looking for is something similar to what I had before. Is there anything like that out there? Or can I manage a debian-hosting account that way?
